Update: LGBT organizations respond. See below the fold.
As we approach the Christmas holidays, what editor thought this was fit to print? Here's an excerpt from "Christmas carols — with a twist" written by columnist and copy editor Dan Phelps at the Lowell Sun. Lowell is the fourth largest city in Massachusetts and is located 20 miles northwest of Boston.

We're instructed to sing it "to the tune of 'Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer'".

Chaz Bono got turned into a man, dear.
Dancin' with a woman on TV.
You might say there's no such thing as Santa
Till you see what Chaz got 'neath his tree.
